Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10 oz/280 g) bag mini marshmallows
- 6 cups lucky charms cereal
- 2 cups rice krispies cereal
- 4 tbsps (60 mL) unsalted butter
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Butter a rectangular baking dish generously or line with parchment paper to facilitate effortless treat removal and prevent adhering.
- Marshmallow Base: Melt butter in a spacious saucepan over medium-low heat, gradually introducing marshmallows while stirring continuously until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Flavor Infusion: Remove from heat and swiftly blend vanilla extract and salt into the marshmallow mixture, ensuring comprehensive distribution throughout the creamy foundation.
- Cereal Integration: Gently fold Rice Krispies and Lucky Charms into the marshmallow blend using a silicone spatula, coating each cereal piece with the sweet, adhesive glaze.
- Molding and Setting: Transfer the mixture into the prepared dish, spreading evenly with a lightly buttered spatula without compressing, then allow to stabilize at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Serving: Once cooled and solidified, slice into uniform squares, revealing the vibrant Lucky Charms marshmallow pieces throughout the treats, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Prevent Sticking Smartly: Use parchment paper or generously butter the baking dish to ensure clean, easy removal of treats without breaking.
- Master Marshmallow Melting: Keep heat low and stir constantly to avoid burning, creating a smooth, glossy base that perfectly coats the cereals.
- Fold Gently, Not Roughly: Use a light touch when mixing cereals to maintain their delicate crunch and prevent crushing Lucky Charms marshmallow pieces.
- Room Temperature is Key: Let treats cool completely for 30 minutes to achieve the ideal set and texture, allowing marshmallow to bind ingredients without becoming hard.
